The Supreme Court issued bailable warrants against advocate Mukut Nath Verma for filing a “scandalous and frivolous” complaint against SCBA Election Committee members and judges. The Court warned such defamatory actions cannot go unchecked and prima facie constitute criminal contempt.
The Supreme Court Advocates-On-Record Association (SCAORA) condemned its secretary’s baseless allegations on March 13. In response, Vice President Snehashish Mukherjee will now handle official communications. The secretary, Devvrat, made false claims about the Election Committee for upcoming SCAORA elections. This led to the Executive Committee issuing a formal rebuke. The SCAORA has set its 2024 elections for April 29.
